SOLR - indexing the database, configuration

Question

I am first day with SOLR, and of course, i have some problems with it. I need to index a database, which is postgresql database. I defined fields in data-config.xml file, added DataImportHandler to solrconfig.xml, added postgresql jar to solr folder. But, when i am starting SOLR, i have the following error:

Any ideas, why i have it? How can i solve it? On web it is : HTTP ERROR: 404

missing core name in path

RequestURI=/solr/admin/index.jsp

Answer 1

Everything is fine! I was entering wrong url. In my case, according to solr.xml file, i needed to enter localhost/solr/db/admin, but not localhost/solr/admin

Answer 2

I think the best solution for this is to find yourself a stuffed toy.

I'm being serious.

Since I'm a lone programmer and cowboy coder here, there is nobody around to listen to my woes, which almost always end mid-sentence with me realizing what actually went wrong. Sit it on your desk, give it a name if you have to, and talk to it whenever something doesn't add up or just doesn't work.
